Betafree Eye Drops is administered topically.

Betafree Eye Drops contain a combination of three active ingredients that work together to manage intraocular pressure. The mechanisms of action are as follows:

• Brinzolamide (1%): A type of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the formation of aqueous humour. By inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which is responsible for the production of this fluid, brinzolamide helps in further reducing intraocular pressure.

• Brimonidine (0.2%): This is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that decreases the production of aqueous humour (the clear fluid in the eye) and increases its outflow. This dual action effectively lowers the intraocular pressure.

• Benzalkonium chloride (0.02%): Acts as a preservative and disinfectant in eye drops. It helps maintain the product's sterility and prevents microbial growth.

• Keep Betafree Eye Drops at a cool room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity.

• Ensure the bottle is properly closed after each use.

• Store it in a safe place, out of reach and sight of children.

• Make sure to use the product before the mentioned expiry date.

• If you have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, maintaining a regular exercise regime can help manage your condition. Regular physical activity can improve your overall health and reduce intraocular pressure.

• Adopting a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains can also be beneficial. These foods contain essential nutrients that can support eye health. Do consult your doctor for specific dietary advice tailored to your needs.
